Arthur J. Balfour, first\nlord of thc admiralty, admitted that\nprovisions which had been considered\nsufficient at the beginning of the war,\nhad to be materially developed. He\nsaid, however, that thc service was now\nbeing supplemented far more rapidly\nthan was the danger is was organized\nto meet.\nThere lias been a great strain, Mr.\nBalfour continued, on tlie supply of\nnlntl-aireraft guns. The development\nof an aei'iaj offensive had not been\nforeseen before this war, but tho naval\nulr service was now of great dimension.\n\"I cannot say,'' Mr. Balfour said,\n\"when there will bo a discontinuance\nof tho attacks on London, but no one\nwill suggest that such methods of terrorism are going in lhe slightest degree lo change thc attitude of lho\nBritish people.\" .\nSuggests  System   Wrong,\nMr. Balfour frankly admitted thai ho\nwas much surprised to discover when\nappointed first lord of the admiralty,\nthat he was responsible for the aerial\nservice, whicli had only ,-i remoto connection with naval work, if the government had set to work three or four\nyears before the war with full knowledge of the rcuuireinenL<>f.aprltil-war-\nfare, he said, the defenses of London\nwould undoubted ty have been much\nbetter oi'ganzied, but Ins hoped that the\norgan izulloii1 wus now in a fair way to\nbecome complete.\nThe changes alread ymade had been\ngreat and all were in the way of dealing adequately with the new and great\n\u25a0responsibility.

Anglican synod\nof Canada, which assembles every four\nyears and which was to have met in\nVancouver last year but was postponed owing to the outbreak of war,\nopened here today with 119 clerical and\ntill lay delegates representing dioceses\nfrom Prince Rupert to Fredericton.\nArchbishop Matheaon, primate of all\nCanada, presided. He* delivered a remarkable opening, afldraM In Trinity\ncollege. In ringing tones be expounded the law and the prophets to the\nleaders nnd people of Canada.\n\"Nothing as usual,\" was his dictum\nand he made an un Usual and scathing\nattack upon tlie tendency toward corruption which developed, he -asserted,\nin the political ranks after a party\nhad become accustomed to holding\noffice.\nNo party, he charged, seemed free of\nthis influence,\nThe question of revision of the\nprayer book wus discussed, a large\nnumber of petitions from all parts of\nthe country being presented urging\nearly uction. The primate declared\nthat in the revision there should lie\ngiven a Canadian touch to the book\nto be used in Canada. The question\nwill be further considered.\nChancellor Davidson, Montreal, presented 62 memorials from the different\ndioceses in Canada begging that no\nchange should lie made in tlie book of\ncommon  prayer  during tlie war.\nIn the election of synod officers, Rev.\nCanon Powell, Toronto, wus appointed\nprolecutor president of the synod for\nthe second time. Rev. L. N, Tucker.\nLondon, was elected deputy.\ning them from rtac'.uiig any vital port-on of the empire.\nDefeats   in  Disguise,\n\"To sum up we may fairly say that\nwhile the Germans have prevailed be\ncause of sheer weight of suns and at\nImmense cost to themselves in forcing back the Russian front, nothing\nbut barren territory anil evacuated fortresses have been gained. Thus their\nstrategy has-clearly failed and the victories they claim may only prove, as\nmilltury history has so often demon\nstrated, to l\u00bbl defeats in disguise.\"\nDwelling on Italy's part In the war,\nEarl Kitchener said\n\"The achievements of the Italian\narmy have been truly remarkable and\nthe manner In which heavy pieces\nwere hauled into almost inaccessible\npositions on lofty mountain peaks and\nin spite of great difficulties avoked\nuniversal admiration. The Italian army\nnow occupies strategic positions of\nfirst rate importance. The gallant con\nduct of the infantry has impressed\nupon the enemy the great military\nvalue of the Italian army of which the\nbold feats of Alpine troops and Ber\nsagller when scaling rugged mountain\nsides were marvelous samples of sue\ncpssful   enterprise.\"\nRecounts Progress at Gallipoli\n\"On the Gallipoli peninsula during\noperations in June several Turkish\ntrenches were captured and our own\nl|nes appreciably advanced and our\nown lines appreciably advanced and\nour positions consolidated.\n\"Considerable reinforcements having\narrived, a surprise landing on a large\nscale nt Suvia bay was successfully ac\ncomphshed on Aug. ti without any serious opposition,\n\"At the same time an attack was\nlaunched by the Australian and New\nZealand corps from the Anzac position\nand a strong offensive was delivered\nfrom Cape Helles in the direction of\nKrithia. In this latter action French\ntroops played a prominent part and\nshowed to high advantage their usual\ngallantry and fine fighting qualities-!\n\"The attack from Anzac, after a\nseries of hotly contested actions, was\ncarried to the summit of Sara Bahr\nand Chunuk Bair, dominating positions\nin this area. The arrival of transports\nand the disembarkation of troops in\nSuvia buy was designed to enable\ntroops to support this attack. Unfortunately, however, the advance from\nSuvia; bay wus not developed quickly\nenough and the movement forward\nwas brought to a standstill after an\nadvance of about 2% miles.\nQuiet Since Aug. 21\n\"The result was that the troops from\nAnzac were unable to retain their\nposition on the crest of the hills and\nafter being repeatedly counter-attacked they were ordered to withdraw to\npositions lower down. These positions\nhave been effectively consolidated and\nnow form, with the line occupied by\nthe Suvlu bay forces, a connected front\nof more than  12 miles.\n\"From the latter position a. further\natinek'oii the Turkish entrenchment's\nwas delivered on Aug. ^1 but after\nseveral hours' sharp fighting it was\nnot found possible to gain the summit\nof the hills occupied by the enemy and\nthe intervening space being unsuitable\nfor defense the troops were withdrawn\nto their original positions.\n\"Since then comparatively quiet h\nprevailed   and   much   needed   rest   h\nbeen given to our troops.\nTurks   More   Humane Than   Germans\n\"In the course of these operations the\ngallantry and resourcefulness of the\nAustralian and New Zealand troops\nfrequently has formed the subject of\npraise  In   Gen.  Hamilton's reports,\n'\"It is not easy to appreciate at their\nfull value the enormous difficulties\nwhich have attended the operations in\nthe Dardanelles or the fine temper with\nwhich our troops have met them.\n\"There is now abundant evidence of\na process of demoralization having set\nin among the German-led, or rather\nGerman-driven, Turks, due. no doubt,\nto their extremely heavy losses und to\nthe progressive failure -\u00bbf their resources. It is Only fair to acknowledge\nthat, judged .from a humane point of\nview, the methods of warfare pursued\nby the Turks are vastly superior io\nthose which have disgraced iheir German masters.\n\"Throughout the co-opn-ation of the\nfleet has been intensely valuable and\nthe concerted action between the'sister services has been in every -way\nIn the highest degree satisfactory.*'\nOf the fighting in Mesopotamia\nKitchener said reconnaissance had\nshow\" that the Euphrates was clear of\nTurks for a -distance of 60 miles,\n\"Since this victory,\" he said, \"there\nhas been no further fighting on the\nEuphrates . Tigris or Karum river.\nClimatic conditions in this theatre of\nwar have rendered the- operations extremely  arduous.\nRecruiting   Marvelous,   But\u2014\n\"As I have informed your lordships,\nsome of the new urm'es we have prepared and equipped for the war are\nalready in the field and others will\nquickly follow them. The response tb\nthe country's calls for recruits to form\nthese armies has been little short of\n\u25a0marvelous, ibut it must be borne 1n\nmhtd that the provision of -men to\nmaintain tbe forces In the field de\npends to a great dergee on a large\nsupply of recruits.\n\"The provision to keep up their\nstrength during 1915 has caused us\nanxious thought, which has been accentuated and rendered more pressing\nby the recent falling off in the numbers coming forward to enlist, although\nevery effort has been made to obtain\nour requirements under the present\nsystem.\n\"I am sure that we all fully realize\nthat the strength of the armies that\nwe are sending out must bo [fully\nmaintained to the end. To fulfil this\n\/purpose we shall require a large addition to the numbers of recruits joining.\nGovernment Seeks  Solution\n\"The problem of how to supply these\nmen and thus insure the field force\nbeing kept up to its full strength is\nengaging our close attention and will,\nI hope, soon to receive a practical solution.\n\"The returns of the registration act,\nwhich will -shortly be available, will\nno doubt, give us the basis on which\nto calculate the resources of the coun\nmen available for the army after providing for the necessary services of\nthe country as well as those of our\nmunition works.\n\"Whatever decision may be arrived\nat in the full light of the facts before\nus must undoubted!\" be founded on\nmilitary requirements for the prosecution -of the war antl the protection\nof our shores, and will be the result of\nan Impartial Inquiry as to how we\ncan most worthily fulfil our national\nobligations.\n\"Although there has been a falling\noff in the numbers of recruits,-.* do\nnot draw from this conclusion unfavorable signs as to the resolution and\nspirit of the country. O- the contrary, I think now, as I have always\nthought, that the manner in which all\nclasses have responded the call of\npatriotism Is magnificent, and I do\nnot for one instant doubt that whatever sacrifices may prova necessary\nto bring this gigantic war to a successful conclusion will be cheerfully\nundertaken by our people.\"\nBUILDlPAiT\nSERVICEFAST\n(Continued from Page One)\nmight be anticipated from German airships.\nNationalist Opposes Conscription.\nAfter Mr. Balfour had spoken the debate turned on conscription. John Dillon, Nationalist for East Mayo, vehemently denounced it. He said lhat\nPitt had tricci it during the Napoleonic\nwars with success but it would be\nmadness lo try the experiment again,\nespecially before the country was\nthoroughly Informed upon the matter.\nHe declared that for far less than\nLord Northellffe had done Irishmen\nhad been sent to jail; If it were not for\nLord Northcliffe's title and power he\nwould hav\u00a9 been sent to jail long\nago.\nGeorge G. Money, Liberal, maintained that under the volunteer system the\ncountry would never have enough men\nund munitions to win the war. There\nwns great danger, he said, of underrating the economic resources of the enemy. Last month Germany had produced\nmore pig iron than in any month since\nthe war started, ln the fourteenth\nmonth of the war. he contended, Germany was stronger than at the beginning.\nStephen Walsh, Laborile, said that\n80 per cent of the members of the\ncommons would support the volunteer\nsystem before abandoning it for conscription. There must be overwhelming and unassailable evidence, he declared, to support the innovation.\nNo Peace Offer From Germany.\nJ. C. Wedgewootl, Liberal, urged the\ngovernment to appoint a strong war\noffice commission to prepare a scheme\nfor conscription, the necessity of\nwhich during the course of the war\nhad been abundantly demonstrated.\nDavid M.

He expressed\ndisappointment that the premier's\nspeech did not give.*'some hope of an\nhonorable and early termination of the\nwar. He thought the public was entitled to a- more definite declaration of\nthe government policy than It had yet\nreceived!\nOn motion for adjournment Mr. Mason raised the question concerning a\nreport that Germany had made pence\novertures,\nLord Crewe repl led that Germany\nhad made no peace proposals, tier could\nhe imuglne any being made at the present time, which would be acceptable to\nthe  allies.\nTHE SELECTION OF A\nFALL SUIT\nOR\nCOAT\nHas Now Become a Matter for Prompt Attention\nmm SUITS EXHIBIT A KKTI.T, IN   WORKMANSHIP.

Scores of miles\nwere travelled by automobile, The program also involved a five-mile walk\nthrough a web of excavations which\nalt the world nowadays glibly talks\nabout us a trench but which aire as\nunlike trenches built outside the war\nzone as they are unlike a marine parade grounds.\nAfterward the party visited the present battalions, lunched with the brigadier-general of the Canadian cavalry\nbrigade. Interposed- with all this was\nthe constant meeting with acquaintances among the rank and -file who\nwere delighted to pass a few words\nwith a Britisher not in khaki. It must,\nlike the trenches themselves, become\na bit monotonous to see nothing else\nfor months.\nEverything  Fine, Say Soldiers\nThe day hus gone by for a general\nimpression of things at the front. One\nreturns from a visit to the firing line\nrather inclined to take as a matter\nof course the fact of the fellows being in excelled* spirits, esp6clally\nwhen it is a morning of brilliant sunshine such as yesterday morning, and\nthings, to quote the brigadier who personally took the present deponent\naround, are \"wonderfully quiet.\" You\npass along a trench and some fellow\nputs his head out of a dugout and you\nask him how things are with him, and\nlie answers: \"Fine.\" Then you ask\nhim where he came from and his reply\nproduces a few commonplace expressions about Calgary, Montreal or the\nlike. The truth is the fellows fell into\ntrench life with the same amount of\ngood spirit as the average mortal of\ngood health and temper puts into affairs of ordinary life. It Is afterward\nyou realize that the trench dweller\nstands days an dntghts on end hetween\ntwo straight walls of clay, crowned\nsymmetrically on top with sandbags,\nand if he wants to look farther afield\nhe must do so through an ingenious\narrangement of mirrors that you begin\nto wonder how he can sing snatches\nof well known songs and tell you in\nsuch a matter of fact way that he is\n\u25a0\/fine.\"\nPrefer Trench to Billet\nMost of the chaps tell you that they\nprefer duty in the trenches to the time\nspent ln the rear. The trench does not\npall upon you as a common thing, but\nGerman shells often play as much\nhavoc with a billet as Sampson did\nwith the temple.\nEverybody one met yesterday said\nbow wonderfully quiet the front -was,\nbut In the course of that five-mile walk\nalong the underground way the earth\ntrembled and shook at the presence of\nour artillery when the later sent its\ncompliments to the Germans and received he customary reply.\n\"Mind the corner, sir,\" said one\ntrench dweller to our guide.\nWe minded, accordingly, bent double\nand distinctly heard something In the\nair which might have been four or five\nhundred feet away. Then we went on\nwalking practically erect because we\nwere proud of having actually been\nsniped at and also -because the trench\nwas now 12 feet deep.\nArtillery Well Hidden\nAfter the trenches we went to where\nthe Canadian artillry is hidden away,\nso that not even the airmen themselves\ncan find them, but they were heard\nfrom in due course.\nAt one point we came across quite a\ncluster of dugouts. Col. Rurland and\nCol. Marshall pressed us to stay for\ndinner, but we were due at brigade\nheadquarters, so they brought out\ncigars and we had tea. Some distance\noff there was a barn badly knocked\nabout.\n\"They shell that place every afternoon. We have a sweep on it as to\nwhen the first shell will come,\" saldi\none of the officers. \"I have drawn 3\no'clock for today.- Come along and\nhave a look at the pictures,\" he said.\nHe led the wa toward a building and\nwe -followed with alacrity. It was not\nthen mid-day. The interior walls were\nlavishly decorated with really clever\ndrawings, executed by artists serving\nwith the English regiment whioh held\nthat portion of the line previous to the\narrival of he Canadians.\nThe day was so crowded one cannot\nrecord.    Tall he striking experiences\nwas ut nightfall, when In company\nwith a certain brigadier, the whole\nparty went to a certain spot whence\na broad view of the German front\ncould be seen with \"starllghters\" going up the whole length of Uio line.\nExcept for this the night was as quiet\nas any In an English village, and yet\nmillions of men are looking hungrily\nupon each other for a lirtfe of 200 miles.\nSASKATOON  HOSTILE TO\nWITHHOLDING PATRIOTIC FUND\nLocal Executive Unanimously Opposes\nthe  Proposal  to  Form\nReserve  Fund\nSASKATOON, Sask., Sept. 15.\u2014A\ncrowded hall full of the wives of soldiers with u, sprinkling of men In uniform greeted T.

This, applies of\ncourse, to fouls that are not caught.\nYou have wondered If It was a\nsuper-stition, a habit or a tradition, for\nthere Is no class of peoplo moro susceptible lo superstition or tradition\nthan ball players. Inquiry failed to\nuncover any [particular jinx that\nwould result if the batsman did not\nget out of his position and await tho\nreturn of a 'base runner to fhe bag\nfrom  which   ho   started.\nNor was it due to a mere habit because the players and managers appeared Imbued with tfte belief that It\nwas necessary. Finally It lias de\nveloped that Ignorance of the playing\nrules Is usually responsible for this\npractise.\nFans Have Mistaken Idea.\nNlnety-nino out of every 100 aver-\nago players will tell you if you ask\nthem that if a, batsman stands in his\nbox after hitting a.foul.ball the pitcher can deliver the sphere as soon as\nho gets it again, liut it the ba-tsmon\ngets out of hi\" box, _lbat stops play\n.until Uie rpnncr geUs.back.. They will\ntell you that if tiie batstnan remained\nIn his position and the pitcher delivers\ntho bdll boforo thn runner touches his\nbase after a foul, .\"the runner will have\nto go baxjk anyway before ho can. advanco oh a base hit.   This l*m't true,\nIt, <\\oc\u00a7)it moke a hit of difference\nwlictJior or. not, the 'batsman gets out\nof his box after a foul. It doesn't make\na, bit of difference whether the pitcher\nwaits for the runner to go back before delivering tiie ball and if the\nbatsman should whale a pitched ball\nover lhe fonce whilo a base runner\nwas on the way back to his base after\na foul hit. It would not make a bit of\ndlliferenco oither.\nThe reason ip Wftfe ^e ball is. automatically put out of play when a foul\nis made and not caught. It Is just tho\nsamo ns if the umpire called \"lime,\"\nfor an 'injury\" or -change of players.\nNothing enn happen legally until the\nball is put in play again by tho.um-\npii'o. According to the rules the umpire Is expected to call \"play\" after\nevery foul that is not caught. If you\ndon't beliove It rend rule' 3d In any\nguide ol' rule hook.\nUmpires   Often   Forget.\nThat the umpire doesn't call this\nafter a. foul is due to habit. That formality has beon neglected so long that\nIt has come to he understood thai play\nshall be suspended until the runner\ngets bad;. Legitimately the umplro\nis required to call'\"piny\" at-the start\nor a game or nn' inning before the\npitcher delivers the ball; hut only a.\nfew of them do It nowadays. Perhaps\nthis disregard fnr a minor formality\nIs responsible for growth of, the misapprehension that the batsman must\nget out of pesitien jhftor-H |onl -'.to,\nkeep the hall  out of play.\nRule 8*1 would bo found to bo deci-d-\nodly a live- ono if it should happen\nsomo day that a. pitcher didn't wait\nfor a runner to return to his base after\na foul, and if the batsman cracked the\nball for a home run. Tho. umpire\nwould have to rule that'lho hit did\nnot count as the ball was not in play.\nHe would have to do that If ho on-\nforced the rulo literally. It would\nprobably cause a riot and consequently\ntho wise umpire in such a case' would\npenalize the pitcher for not wailing\nby allowing tho hit to stand.\nA. Cf.

Not a\nwoman was present, not a civilian except the correspondents. A hright sun\nwas shining. Five or six thousand feet\noverhead a, British plane was patrolling the air In a great circle throughout the ceremony.\nAs the secretaries of war of Britain\nand Franco faced the Guards, their\nbayonets rose at present arms in\ngleaming rigid lines. Lord Kitchener's\nkhaki made him hardly discernible\nagainst the wall of khaki as tho party\nwalked the length of the front ranks\nin formal inspection. M.

One officer at the head of his\nveterans was conspicuous because tie\nsaluted with his left hand. His right\nsleeve Was empty. -Guardsmen must bo\ntall; and some of the giants were taller\nthan Lord Kitchener himself. A number of men in the ranks had fought\nat M-ahs and on the Alsne and survived, too, from the first and second\nbattles of Ypres. Others had yet to s\u00abi\na battle.

To meet that outlay\nNelson contributed only $231 and while\nsnme amounts were sent in to the central fund from districts adjacent to the\ncity lhe total donations were far less\nthan the amount of the call upon the\ncentral fund.\nIf Nelson district does mil bear its\nown burden tbo central fund will continue to send in for dependents the\namounts to which Ihey are entitled but\nthe people of this district will not willingly permit obligations which are\npeculiarly their own to be met by lho\nother districts which contribute to the\ngeneral  fund.\nThc duty of the people of Nelson\nand other points In this district is\nclear.

Kerby of Calgary,\nwho spoke in Nelson on Aug 4:\nNo. 3 Aeroplane squad, Dardanelles,\nJul 14, 1315\u2014\"After nearly nve weeks\nwithout a letter, I got nearly a dozen\nall In a bunch day hefore yesterday\nand T was certainly glad to get them\nand they are moro than devoured when\nthey do arrive I have already been up\non three trips over the Gallipoll peninsula\u2014twice spotting for our Runs and\nyesterday on a bomb raid. When\nspotting you take up an observer and\nwireless and cruise about ahov--* lbo\ntrenches at about 7000 feet, and your\nobserver signals back to your battery\nwhere their shells are falling. It iB\nyery interesting watching warfare\nfrom above like this, and the anti-aircraft guns of tbe Turks tend to make\nit more interesting still for you.\n\"Yesterday I started on my Utile\ntrip at 2:30 p.m. and did not get br.ck\nuntil after 5 p.m., so ynu may (imagine\nI was very tired os the strain of the\ntrip of that length in an aernplane,\nunder firo is hard on you, especially\non me, as I am not used as yet to\nsuch long trips in bumpy weather. 1\njust had two bombs with  me and on\nmy way to   where I was ordered\nto drop them, saw a column of Turkish\ntransports on the move. 1 pointed\nthem out to my observer, Major Miles,\nand through his field glasses made sure\nwhat it was. so let fly one of my t.nmh\u00bb\nat it. I dldnt see dit hit as the \"nacelle\"\nof the machine insisted on getting in\ntbo way, but the major followed It all\nthe way down and said 'while not a\ndirect hit it was very close and doubtless It killed a few as they scattered\nIn all directions.' My second bomb\nwent right, through tlie roof of a big\nlent or shed of somo kind In a gully\nat and   blew   it   to  -hits\u2014heres*\nImping it wns full of Turks.\n\"Well, nur trnops did very well according to reports, in the big attack of\nyesterday, which commenced at 3 n.m.\nand kept up till dark. The din was\nawful, even this far away, and when\nin the air you could sec the shells\ndropping just like rain on the Turkish\npositions.\nJust at dusk last evening Commander Mourlee spied two battalions of\nTurkish reserves coming up to the\ntrenches, so Immediately wirelessed tn\none of our batteries their position and\nin about ten minutes our guns had al\nmost completely   wiped out those two\nbattalions.\nThe men in the trenches get as\ngood, if not better grub than we of\nfleers get here Really It is terrible.\n1 want you to send me biscuits or\nsomething every week but it wil! likely\nbe a, month before I get anything.\nLieut.

Neither\nside can get to them to bury them, so\nthere they nit.

It\nis always best to keep on the move.\nAnd everything is nn the mnve here,\nIbough thero is no hurry, The British\nhave regulated oil that.

A striking ensemble and\npicturesque they were, hut tbe soldier\nmade too good a target for the enemy.\nAlong with the khaki some of the\nBelgians are dressed in green with\ntouches of yellow. But their caps with\nfunny little tassels flirting with their\nnoses have not changed. They render\ntho entire efrect amusing, ho matter\nhow diginifled the soldier. Incidentally\nT may say the same of the Scotch high-\nlander with his kilt and gay little cap\nstrings. In private life it. would be\nalmost Impossible to take such a soldier\nseriously, yet, as we all know, both\nBelgian and Scotch aro \"devilish good\nfighters\"\u2014to quote a military term for\na soldier who docs bis duty and is \"on\ntbo job.\"\nGood  Soldiers, These.\nThe British soldier overflows everywhere, All empty houses have been requisitioned for him aud each hotel has\nits quota. Somo take meals at my hotel,\nami snme across the way. Just now tho\nstone steps in front of the door is studded wilh (hem. Little children sit hetween the big men, who puff pipes and\noccasionally make ;i remark to each\nother, for lhe Britisher Is not a man of\nsupcrflous words. A \"silent conversation\" goes on between the soldiers and\nkiddies, for, alas! the tongue of one is\nnot the tongue of the other.\nTbe soldier pats the child's bead, tho\nchild looks up and smiles. Pretty soon\nall the little ones wilt be called home to\ngo lo bed, and the Tommies will leavo\nthe steps.

Unloss tho re-*\nsuit nf actual well defined illness It Is\nan almost certain indication of a defect in the assimilative functions that\nis permitting a large portion of tho\nstrength and flesh malting, elements of\nfood to pass through thc body as waste\ninstead of going; to the blond where\nthey belong.\nTo correct this unnatural condition\nand lo quickly win back from 10 to 3ft\npounds of healthy flesh try taking a.\nsingle Sargol tablet with every men!\nfnr a few weeks and note results.\nLet the weigh scales  bo the judge.\nSargol is a splendid combination of\nassimilative agents whose purpose Is\nto extract every ounce of flesh and\nfat-making nourishment from the meal\nwith which it is eatei and to prepare\nit in a form which the blood will eagerly absorb and distribute throughout\nthe body. Remarkable gains in weight\nare reported from its use in this way.\nIndeed, many leading druggists who\nsell it say they will guarantee to return tho purchase prico ln any casfl\nwhere it d-oes not produce increased!\nweight when used as directed, as stated)\nin the printed guarantee found in each,\ntarge package.\nAs Sargol is entirely harmless, is\npleasant and easy to take and not at\nall expensive, it would seem therefore\nthat almost any person who is lft\npounds or moro under normal weight\nmight give It a trial on such a liberal\nmoney hack guarantee,\n PAGE SIX\nCi)?

Erie and Rock Island pursued contrary courses, the former\nshowing Increased strength on reported\nfurther accumulation of the preferred\nshares, while the latter became heavy\non news that the federal court had\nordered tbat suits for restitution he\nInstituted against seme of the former\nand present memhors of the board.\nMinneapolis & St. Louis issues declined\nabruptly later, the common declining\n'I to 8, the preferred fl to 24\" and the\nrefunding 4s 4 to 14, Their fall was\nassociated with tho serious illness of\nthe company's president.\nInvestment, railways moved narrowly. Fluctuations rarely ex-opodpd minor\nfractions until sthe final hour, when\nHeading fell to 14!*%, its lowest tpio-\ntation of tho day, and other standard-\nstocks denoted recurrent pressure.\nShares of the Long Island railroad, a.\nPennsylvania, subsidiary, were prominent for their strength, advancing fi\nlo in.\nWashington May Block Loan\nNew high records for the war shares\nwere once more in order, even though\ntheir further advanco was without\nfavorable effect elsewhere.\nBethlehem Steel roso point to 350,;\nCrucible Steel IV. to %%, and United;!\nStates Alcohol 1 tn 4*1% Total sales\nof stocks amounted to 522,000 shares.\nInternational credits and the status\nof affairs wlh Germany enered into the\ncalculations of tho trading element and\ndoubtless were responsible for the dullness and superficial character of the\nday's operations. Rumors to the effect\nthat Washington might enter an objection to the proposed Anglo-French\nloan caused renewed discussion of this\nproblem.\nExchange in London was dull but\nsteady with fewer offerings on continental bills. In fact, exchange markets may bo said to be marking time,\npending a definite outcome of current negotiations.\nTrading in bonds lacked especial feature, aside from tho steady tone.

A.  Came\u2014Wa*\non Her Way to  Nelson When\nShip Was Torpedoed\nMrs. J. T. Bealby of Nelson haa received a letter from Miss Gladys A.\nCarne, who was a passenger on the\nArabic which was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on Aug. 19. Miss Came was on\nher way to Nelson to visit Mr. and\nMrs. Bealby at their ranch. The letter\nreads as follows:\n\"At breakfast on Thursday, Aug. 19,\nwe talked so long that the doctor reproached us for making him late at his\ndispensary, as he was due there at\n9:30 o'clock. I went up on deck to\nthe bow with Mr. Ingram and we saw\nin the distance a ship sinking. We\nnoticed that the Arabic was going a\nzig-zag course, and remarked that the\nsinking ship would make a splendid\nhiding place for a submarine, when I\nsaw a torpedo coming at a tremendous\npace towards us. 'There's the torpedo,'\nI said, and we leaned over the rail to\nsee if it would hit us or not and we\nheard a tremendous, dull road toward\nthe stern and knew that we were\ndoomed. We both ran to the com-\npanionway, a sailor gave me a lifebelt as I ran, and a stewardess tied it\non. I then helped a couple of children\ninto theirs, Noticing what a lot of\nchildren were in the boat and knowing that we were at least 60 miles from\nland, T ran back to my cabin and got\nmy fur coat. As I arrived on deck\nagain, I found the boat just being\nlowered away. Two men pitched me\ninto ft nnd flung the coat after me.\nSaved the Bulldogs\n\"Then two bulldogs were flung down\nInto the boat from above. These dogs\nbelonged to the son of Mrs. Bruglere,\none of the two Americans drowned.\nThe son was saved. The two men\nswung tiie boat away down and jump*\ned Into the water and we pulled them\ninto the boat. The boat was clear of\nthe davits, but the stern was still\nhooked to the Arabic and we were\ndashed against the Hide of it with\nevery wave and 1 thought we should\nbe smashed up. A plucky lad climbed\nthe davit rope and cut it and so set\nus free. He dropped into the sea and\nwe picked him up. We were then so\nclose to the liner that the bow of the\nsmall boat where I was lying with two\nwomen was covered with the rush of\nthe water of the Arabic. The weight\nof water took us right under and I\nfelt drowning. Gratings and chains\nfell down on us. I was badly bruised.\nOne of the women had her head cut\nopen, the other had her jaw smashed.\nMy hat was torn off my head. Thinking that something would happen like\nthis, I had locked my arm round tho\nlowered mast which was fixed along\nthe centre of lhe boat and so was not\nwashed overboard. While under water,\n1 felt somothing slipping past me and\ngrabbed it. When we came up I found\nit was a woman.\nBoats Drawn Into Vortex\n\"By this time all that could be seen\nof the Arabic was the boat turnod up\nlike the steeple of a church and in a\nfew seconds she went down, leaving a\ngreat hole in the ocean. Two boats\nwere drawn down into tills and smashed and we saw people struggling in the\nwater, but by a miracle we seemed to\nhang just on the edge of this vortex\nand did not go over. There was great\nconfusion on our boat for some time,\nas we were nearly all women and children, there being only about half a\ndozen men. The babies and children\nwere all crying. The women who had\nbeen hurt were shrieking. We had a\nbarber, a steward, a stoker, a seaman\nand two passengers and they kept\nshouting contradictory orders and for\nsome time it was terrible. Then we\ngot the oars out and began to get some\nheadway on the boat, for we were\nswaying about in the trough of the\nwaves. The women and children began to get very sea sick and at last I\nbecame ill, too. The great difficulty\nwas to avoid wreckage, which seemed\nto be trying its hardest to stove our\nsides in.\n\"We picked up several people and\nthen came upon the captain, who had\ngone down in the Arabic and had managed to save himself on a raft. He had\npicked up several seamen too. All this\ntime I had been helping to pull an oar,\nwith the barber. T don't suppose 1\nhelped much, but it kept me warm,\nfor we had picked up a poor man who\nlooked to be dying and my coat revived him and put some warmth into\nhim. I was thankful to have the captain in our boat. He was fearfully ex\nhausted and his leg was injured and\nhe lay for a short time in capable of\ndoing anything, nnd then he recovered\nand began to give orders and we all\nfelt much better. I own I was frightened until we got him in. He took the\ntiller, the mast was put up and the\nsail fixed, and we began to make some\nprogress. We were sailing for three\nhours and I was bitterly cold, for I\nwas wet to the skin and only had a\nthin white cotton frock on. We had\nsent out S.O.S. signals for the other\nboat which was sunk.\nRescued by Minesweepers\n\"Our wireless had been destroyed by\nthe torpedo, so when two minesweepers came racing up, besides the Duns-\nley's crew, they found alt the Arabic\npeople who had been wrecked, too. I\nwas thankful to get on to the minesweeper. The submarine was still\nabout, so one of the boats circled\nround us while the other picked us up,\nand then when she had taken up about\nfive boat loads, she kept watch while\nthe other boat took up survivors. Once\non board, we were all given strong\nbrandy and water, which we badly\nneeded. The people who were exhausted and collapsed were wrapped tn\nblankets and put to bed. I nursed a\nbaby whose mother had fainted after\nbeing splendidly plucky. She was\nthrown into the water from one of the\nsmashed boats, found a raft and clung\nto it until she and the baby were\nrescued.\nAfter that an officer took me to the\nboiler room, where I found Mr. Dennehy, who had been thrown out. of his\nboat when it broke up and bad bruised\nhis head badly, coming up under an\nupturned boat. As be had been in the\nwater nbout half an hour before being\nrescued, he was frightfully cold, ^'e\nsteamed as if in a Turkish bath and\nstayed there about two hours until wo\nwere practically dry. Then T sat on a\ncase of shells and had quite a nice time\nseveral of the men rescued from the\nArabic.\n\"About 6 o'clock we were landed at\nQueenstown. We were all marched up\nbetween two rows of soldiers to keep\nthe people back and we were most deplorable objects. Mr. Dennehy had no\ncoat and was in dancing shoes, his\nhead badly cut. My white sponge\ncloth frock was black from being in\nthe boiler room, my hair was down,\nfor all my hairpins were lost when my\nhat was washed off. My skirt from\nbeing so soaking wet had become a\nyoung train at the back, my silk stockings were a sight to behold and my\nwhite shoes were black.\n\"Mr .Dennehy and I with several\nother people were left at a small beer\nhouse, as the Queen's hotel was full\nup with people who had arriver earlier\nand after a very much needed wash\nwe had a supper of ham, with the maid\nservant constantly chipping in with\n\"Glory be to God ye're saved.\" Then\nwe went out to try and buy some\nclothing, combs, toothbrushes, etc. 1\ngot an awful coarse serge skirt,\n4s. ll%d. and the buttons promptly\ncame off directly it was on. I also\ngot shoes. Mr. Dennehy got a suit\nwhich was too small for him and we\nboth looked sketches and as we were\nrather done up we went to the Queen's\nand had some champagne. We met\nCapt. Finch there and he said it did\nhim good to see my smiling face. I\nalso met the Irish doctor, who told me\nif we had not been so late at breakfast over the home rule discussion at\nbreakfast, he would have been in his\ndispensary, and this was where the\ntorpedo struck the Arabic and he would\nhave been blown to pieces.\nSnapshotters   Busy\n\"The next morning, after a ham\nbreakfast, we were so worried with reporters and snapshotters and had such\nawiul thirsts, l suppose from having\nswallowed so much sea water the day\nbefore and eaten ham for two meals,\nso Dr. D. bought a big melon and nectarines and peaches and we got on a\njaunting car and went for a ride out of\nthe town arnong the hills and ate the\nfruit. We could not face another ham\nmeal, so we lunched at the Queen's\nand at 3 p.m. got Into the special train\nfor Dublin. It was quite a comfortable\njourney. After coffee and sandwiches\nat Dublin we got into the Irish mail\nboat, but 1 could not go below into tho\ncabin, for I felt there might bo submarines about ,so I sat on the upper\ndeck near a floating raft with Mr. Dennehy and felt much safer. All lights\nwere out and it is not a pleasant ex\npertence crossing under such conditions. But near that raft we had a\nsporting chance of life whatever happened. We reached Holyhead at 3 a.m.\nvery tired and weary and tumbled into\nthe train. We tried to sleep but it was\na failure. It was a crowded train and\nmy various bruises were very painful.\nEvery time I dozed off I wake with a\nstart, thought I was drowning. I was\nthankful to reach Buston and homo,\nWill  Attempt Crossing  Again\n\"We were bombardedvivith reporters\nagain and mother said she saw five\nmen snapshotting me at one moment,\nso no wonder my photo is in all the\nIllustrated   papers.\n\"I was lucky to escape with a few\ninjuries, for am only severely bruised\nand stiff, but the feeling of drowning\nwhon we were fn the small boat and\nour bow end was submerged, I shall\nnever forget.\n\"I hope to cross the Atlantic when\nI have got some clothes ready, for all\nI possess is at the bottom of the sea.\nThe few  old  things  I  loft at  home  I\n^Ijiclcts\nREALLY DELIGHTFUL\nTHE DAINTY\nMINT-COVERED\nCANDY-COATED\nCHEWING GUM\nAlways Ready\u2014\ntbe most convenient and the daintiest form of ftum\never produced.\nCadets\n\u2014\nNELSONNEWSOT THE DAY\nA social evening is being arranged1\nby the members of Queen City Rebek-\nah lodge in commemoration of the\nsixty-fourth anniversary of the founding of Its branch of Oddfeltowship\nSept. 21.\nJ.

Theso\nexpedients, which are, of course, always made under cover of darkness,\nare attended with considerable danger and risk, but the men onjoy the\nexcitement, and thore are always volunteers who wish to go out and re-\nconnoiter certain suspicious points\nalontf the enemy's trench.\nOne little party had an exciting adventure a few nights ago. A party of\nfive men, which included a former Oxford professor, set out shortly before\nmidnight to explore a certain hedge\nrunning across a field close to a German trench, The hedge, it was thought,\nmight conceal machine guns or defensive works. Making thoir way with the\nutmost caution across tho rough\nground separating the two trenches,\nexpecting their presence to bo revealed\nat any moment by a flare from the\nenemy's trench tbe llttlo band at-last\nreached the hedge. Suddenly a cough\nwas heard from the other side, and\nthe five immediately flung themselves\nflat upon the ground and waited. An-\n\u2022other cough came in a few minutes,\nand then a German head was seen\nthrough the twigs without a moment's\nhesitation the officer with the party\nshot the man dead on he spot with his\nrevolver, and then, regardless of the\nnumbers of the enemy that might he\nlying behind tlie shelter of the hedge,\nchanged through It closely followed by\nhis privates. Six Germans wero, discovered. Three were shot without\ntrouble, while the other three surren\ndered. One, while being taken back\nto our lines treacherously attempted\nto snatch the revolver from the hand;\nof the officer. The latter, however,\nmanaged to foil him, and pushing hi\nweapon into the German's chest, he\npulled the trigger. The magazine had\nunfortunately been emptied in the original melee and nnlya. harmless click\nresulted.\nA desperate struggle ensued, the two\nwrestling and tumbling in the darkness. Finally the officer succeeded in\ngetting the better of his adversary, and\nknocked him senseless with the butt\nend of his revolver. By this time, of\ncourse, the enemy had become aware\nof the struggle going on, and turned\non a machine gun in the direction of\nthe noise, regardless as to whether\nthey hit their own mon or not. In tlie\nface of the fire the officer had to leave\nhis captive, and crawled back to his\nown trench.\nThe following night a party from\nanother battalion which hnd refused\nto believe the story of thn midnight\nstruggle, crawled out to the spot to\nobtain proof, and there found various\ntrophies in the shape of caps, rifles,\netc. These were safely brought back.\nIn the morning a heated discussion\narose between the two battalions as\nto the ownership of the articles. One\nclaimed them as the spoils of war; the\nother asserted its right from tlio point\nof view of treasure trove.

From every part of the\ncountry comes assurances from u small\nbut noisy minority of persons, not of\nthe glorious, but of the inglorious part\nthat they are prepared to play in the\nevent of a threat to the peace of the\ncountry. With that curious lack, 'of\nmoral equilibrium that seems to grow\nmore marked with tho passage of time\nwe are invited to believe that war is\na greater calamity even than the loss\nof honor and of freedom. War, we aro\ntold, Is the one culminating catstro-\nphe without possible parallel or conceivable compensation, and that such\na doctrine of cowardice should find\nanything like a popular acceptance is\na sign of the times upon which Ave\nshould do well to look with some misgiving.\nMost of this outr-ry comes, of course,\nfrom women, whoso sentiments are epitomized in the fatuous refrain, \"I did\nnot raise my boy to bo a soldier.\" That\nthey have all too often raised their\nboys to be thieving politicians' or shady\nfinanciers has so far culled forth no\nparticular protest, at least no protest\nworthy to be santifiod by doggerel or\nglorified in vaudeville.\nAnd so it is with peculiar gratified\nWon that tbe Argonaut presents its\nreaders with a letter written to a relative by a California woman whose son,\n20 years old, has been fighting for\nnearly a yoar. Here at least is fOno\nmother who certainly did not \"raise\nher boy to be a soldier,\" but who is\nnone the less proud that he Is a soldier, and who will still be proud if thc\ngods shoul will that he die as a soldier.\nIt does not matter to which army ho\nbelongs, sinco she herself gives, here\nbenediction to all good mon in all armies, and her applause to all well done\nduty. But the letter, with a few domestic references excused, may speak\nfor itself:\n\"It is good of you to write to A. and\nsend him cigarettes. You may be sure\nthey will both bo appreciated. I hope he\nwill answer your letters, but he says he\nhas very little time for writing. They\nare either in the hateful trenches,\nwhere they just seem to be dodging\nshells all the time, or when they are\nout they are loo tired to do much. His\nlast letter\u2014this week\u2014was very short.\nHe was right: hack from the. firing line\nat headquarters. He is a telephonist\nnow, and one of his jobs is crawling\nout of the trench to mend the wires\nwhen they aro severed by shot, a mark\nfor the snipers of the enemy, but .he'\nsays -outside tho trench is not much\nmore dangerous than inside. He writes\nquite phe'erfully and philosophically. I\nthink those boys are just splendid, the\nwa.v\\ they bear things so patiently, so\n\u25a0bravely, so unselfishly.. Of course one\ndoes a lot of thinking now and puzzling\nthings out. Life seems a good -deal of\na muddle, but with all the,misery and\nanxiety and horror, somehow it feels\ngood.

You speak of how useless you\nare feeling, how you are longing to\nhelp. I felt just like that for some time,\nas though I couldn't hear it, but I think\na good many feel like that and I am\nsure It Is a mistake we aro making.\nT read a very fine article by a man a\nfew months ago. Ho was no use to\nfight; he had no money; lie couldn't\ndo anything at all; he was a poor clerk\nand just had to grind at his job. Suddenly he knew (inside somehow) that\nhe could help hy doing -his own work\nextra well\u2014every little thing that came\nalong, no shirking of the least tiny\nthing, and afterwards lie felt that if\nhe failed ever so little that he had contributed to the defeat of the men at\nthe front. If he stood firm he had helped them to stand firm, and it seems to\nme that he was entirely right, that one\ncan't do anything witli sword or rifle,\nor even with bandages, but inside one\ncan help, and give the best kind of\nhelp, too. We know that there is such\na thing as an inside oneness, that people can catch cowardice and bravery,\netc., from each other, and that we can\nhelp or hinder people just by our attitude without doing or saying a word,\nand I am somehow quite sure that we\npoor little useless women, 16,000 miles\naway and eating our hearts out with\nlonging, can give the very best kind of\nhelp. And It is righting of JL pretty\ntouch kind to keep calm and serene and\nconfident and strong. I am suro this\nisn't just an ordinary war with guns\nand cannon; It is might against right,\nevil against good, ad don't you think\nthat every man in all the armies who\nis fighting from a sense of duty and\nwho is doing his best in every way Is\nn the right side, and that the cowards\nand stackers and careless and cruel on\nwhichever side are on tlio side of the\nwrong? The material fighting seems\njust the part that shows. I don't think\nthe shots A fires are half so important\nin  the final  winning us  the patience\nand good temper and endurance that |\nhe is showing, it is hard to explain,1\neven to one's self, and almost impossible to any one else, but I have a very\nclear idea in my own mind. If we\ncould be any use thero 1 hello ve we\nWould be there, but I am sure, we have\na part to play here. . . . One feels\nso proud of them all and so proud to\nbe one of them. The big things .seem\non top, and it's good to be living In tin\ntimes when there is something real to\ndo. You wonder how I can bear the\nthought of A there. It's pretty hard\nsometimes, and of course he is never\nout of our thoughts for ono moment,\nbut somehow, with all the horrible\ndanger It is bettor for hi in than the\nlife he was living beforo. He went from\na sense of duty and he seems to be doing his duty thoroughly. Do you know\nthe letters we used to have from him\nhad a grumble in each one. Since he\njoined just a year ago (Aug. tith, there\nhas not been one. He -has had very\nrough times, hard work, uncongenial'\ncompanions, but ho has laughed at It\nall and has behaved liko a man, and\nhis character has grown more in the\nlust year that It would have in fifty\nother kind of years, and even if we\nnever soo liim again, we shall know\nthat he has lived as he never could\nhave In the old kind of life. I don't pity\nany of those men, not those who are\nkilled or the horribly disabled. I am\nsure they know it Is worth whilo. Wo\ndon't pity miners who go down into a\nmine to rescue their mates, even if\nthey are killed doing it, and most of\nthose boys have gone into the war In\nexactly the same spirit. So let us\ncheer up and do our bit witli the rest.\nNow I am going to stop and go to bed.\nI believe this is a kind of sermony letter, but it helps one to say tilings to\nsome one else, don't you think? Very\nmany thanks again, -dear, fur you sympathy, which does help.\"\nNow there is no adequate compliment\nthat can be passed upon such a letter\nas that, but it may serve to present a\nview of war that is taken by one who\nhas more at stake than kings and emperors, and certainly more at stake\nthan those who clamor their hysterias\nin our ears and to whom tlie agonies\nof suspense and bereavement are mere\nprofitable theories. They would do well\nto be silenc before an experience that\nhas brought heroism instead o\u00a3 either\ndespair or cowardice.\nThore will be no disposition anywhere to minimize the horrors of war.\nThey are hideous, monstrous, infernal.\nBut there is another side to the picture.\nToday in Europe there are some twenty\nmillions of men who are giving their\nlives without tho faintest hope of reward or profit, without the dimmest illusion of personal recompense or advantage. That most of them are conscripts, matters not at all, since they\narc witling and enthusiastic conscripts.\nIt is a tragical fact that nothing but\nwar can produce such a volume of self-\nforgetfulness and self-surrender, but it\nis none tlio loss magnificent. Indeed it\nIs so magnificent us to shine with a\ntight more enduring than the light of\nblazing towns or the glare from great\nguns. And that unnumbered women In\nEurope should ask nothing of these men\nbut that they do their duty, that they\nshould be willing to face the greater\nagony of suspense, indeed proud to face\nit as their share of the sacrifice. Is a\nfact so sublime us to mitigate the force\nof the cataclysm and oven to persuade\nus that \"all's well with the world.\"-\u2014\nSan Francisco Argonaut.\nMr. Hardfax\u2014I've brought you hero\nso we could be alone, so that I can\ntell you what I've been dying to speak\nof.\nMiss Gushington\u2014Tell me.

H. D. Benson, seeretury-treas-'\nurer of the Nelson District patriotic\nfund, the receipts from the* city and\nvicinity arc far below thc sums which\nare being expended month toy month\nIn maintaining the object ot tho fund.\nSince tlie outbreak of the war and\nthe 'inauguration of tbe fund, over a\nyoar ago, tho calls upon its resources\nliavo been steadily increasing. As\nmore and more men have enlisted and\ngone Into active service the applications for assistance by tlie fund have\niucreasod proportionately until during\nlho last month tbo amount paid out\nin the city and neighborhood was over\nseven times tho amount received during tbo same period. It is pointed out,\nhowever, that this does not mean that\ntho persons who are receiving assist^\nahoe from tlie fund will not be taken\ncare of, as tho money for this purpose Is drown from tlie general fund,\nand In this .way any local deficit Is\nmade up. The point that is made by\nthe officers of thn fund is that at the\npresent timo Nelson is not doing Its\nshare toward keeping Is own dependents.\nBurlng August the officials paid out\nto applicants the sum ot 51040, but\ntho receipts for the same period only\namounted to 1231,90, which includes $S4\ndonated as the proceeds of tlie business men's picnic. The receipts for\nAugust show r considerable falling off\nfrom those of July which amounted to\n$400,511, Including U7, donated by tho1\nNelson and District Women's Institute\nand J62.80 given by the British Columbia employees of the health of animals branch, Dominion department of\nagriculture. After deducting these special contributions lhe receipts for August still show a falling off of about\n$175 from those of the preceding\nmonth.\nIn these monthly reports aro included ono day's pay from every employee of tho provincial government In\ntho city, the balance being tlie voluntary gifts of tlie citizens. The treasurer figures that in view of tlio fact\nthat, in addition to the applicants\ncovered in the $1040 paid out last\nmonth, several cases arc under consid-\natlon it is likely that the amount of\nmoney to bo raised in order that Nelson may Ho Its share toward satisfying\nits .obligations wiil increase monthly.\nThe total sum received up to date is\n$011^.70, whereas the fund has paid out\n$7984.09, which Is taken us showing\ntliat $1872 has already been paid out\nfor the support of the dependents of\nNelson men by persons from other\nportions of the province who are therefore, it is pointed out, doing moro\nthan their share while Nelson is steadily fulling further and further behind.\nIn addition to the money paid to\ndependents at Nelson whose breadwinners are on active service the fund is\ntaking ca.ro of some cases In Nakusp,\nCreston, Slocan City and vicinity, Bttr-\nton, Boswell and Balfour. It Is slated\nthat there Is no means uf finding out\nwhat percentage of the financial burden is being carried hy these communities ns remittances from these points\nare not received In Nelson, being sent\nstraight to Victoria headquarters, but\nit is fcit that it is safe tu assume lhat\nthe contributions are not lara-e enough\nto figure substantially in the amount\nneeded.\nWhen the patriotic fund was originated, a number of citizens pledged\nthemselves to contribute a stated\nsum each month, totaling $140. These\npayments have gradoally fallen away\nuntil it is stated tliat a very small percentage of the pledges are being kept.\nIn severnl instances merchants and\ncompanies pledged themselves to slvo\nlump sums divided Into in monthly\npayments.' Several of these pledges\nhave run out and the treasurer has\nurged tho vital necessity uf renewing\nthorn. The directors of the fund feel\nvery strongly' the position that Nelson\nhas, they sdy, allowed itself to take in\ntliis matter'and feel lhat the cause is\nto be attributed to carelessness rather\nthan lack of Intorest or willingness to\ndo everything possible to support tills\ncause. They liave expressed themselves as convinced that if the peoplo\nof Nelson realize where their duty lies\nIn tills mater they will rally to tho assistance of the dependents who look to\nthem for a livelihood and take up their\nfull share of the responsibility without\ndepending upon others to mako up\ntheir deficiencies.\nJURY CHOSEN  FOR\nASSIZES ON OCT. 4\nTho panel for the grand and potit\ncourt list was selected yesterday 'by\nRegistrar T.

Fortunately ho\nwas only badly seared.\nVery thirsty, we at last arrived at\nTsaobis. There was no wanter hero\nand no enemy either, but at a place\nnamed Kaltenhausen, some six miles\nfurther, there was a large dam, and\nwe would be able to wator our horses\nthere. So on we went again. It was\nmoonlight. Our horses, however,\nseemed to smell tho water and we had\nall our work cut out to keep them\nfrom trotting or cantering. They did\nnot want much leading\u2014they simply\nwent. All we had to do was to keep\na tight rein.\nln another 10 minutes we arrived at\na high wall, a sort of embankment and\ngoing around that wo found ourselves\nIn front of a large dam.

My\nboy had a bath hi the cold water, tho\nhorse he was riding, as well .as my\nthird, which he was leading, lying\ndown.'\nA Fine Round Up\nI'otinine is a place of which we have\ntlie happiest recollections. A German\nspeaking native said that a wealthy\nresident had scut Ids cattle lo the hilts,\nwhere a native tribe was looking after\nthem. Of course, we soon got an expedition ready. We rode in skirmishing formation aud after some three\nhours I spotted a number of oxen and\ncows grazing on the hillside. Two\nminutes later I could see Ihe sheep\u2014\nthe hillside was simply white with\nthem. A native village was guarding\nthe animals. Our arrival had been\nnoticed and tho whole tribe collected\nin no time. An old native, waving a\ndirty old, onco white, shirt, immediately came up lo us and expressed the\nhope that we had come as friends.\nfie was -soon told that we were not\ngoing to harm him or his tribe, aud as\nhe spoke a little German I Informed\nhim that we bad como to fetch the\ncattle belonging to the Germans, while\nwe would bo prepared to buy for cash\nthe cattle belonging to tlie natives. We\ninstructed the natives and our own\ndrivers to collect the sheep, goats and\ntlie cattle.\nMeanwhile tlie native women, who\nappeared to be rather pleased than\notherwise, had come out of their huts\nwith large kalabases of sour milk.\nBeautiful slnff it was and what a drink\nwe had. Shortly after we moved, the\nwhole native tribe accompanying us\nwith Iheir belongings. In all we had\n890 head of sheep, goats and rams aud\ntili oxen and cows.\nA Curious Procession\nEverybody, including ourselves, officers and the headquarters staff, helped in the drive.
